Weight Loss tips? -

Hi,my 13- nearly 14 year old daughter said she wants to loose at least a few pounds before we go on holiday the 16th of august. What good tips and techniques would you give her? thanks a lot.

Instead of just telling her how to loose weight, why don t you make it a mother and daughter bonding session?I don��t know how or you eat, or how physical you are during the day? So why don��t you do easy things if you find it hard to find the time or money. Swimming is fun, and not strenuous on any muscles, and normally fairly cheap, you can go together, after work, or during the day, and it doesn��t just have to be swimming up and down, you can play games, or do an aerobics class as well. Eating healthier could make her feel better from the inside out, which could make her feel she doesn��t have to loose weight. As I said before, I don��t know how you eat, but why don��t you eat some delicious salads? Mix some rocket, baby spinach and watercress (the big leaved ones, the ones you get in a packet) in a bowl, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Slice some red onions thinly after cutting in half, throw in some chopped walnuts, and enjoy, add what ever else you want, some feta, or even a poached egg. Don��t forget to season with a little salt ad pepper. Or grill some chicken breast, make a salsa from quartered baby tomatoes, sliced onion, tonnes of chopped parsley, coriander and a little mint. Add some new potatoes, and salad! Add lots of fresh herbs to your food, it makes it taste nicer, and you can add less oil, butter and salt to your food. Also try drinking green tea, it might make her feel more grown up, and it is good for you!Also another great thing to do with a daughter that age and just before going on holiday is pampering. Again if money permits, go on a little shopping splurge, buy some nice holiday clothes that suit her body, and then go to get your hair done, and maybe a manicure and pedicure. If you cant afford to go to a beauty salon for the day, do it at home, soak your feet in some warm scented water, do your toenails together, and your fingernails, let her do yours, and be creative. If you show your daughter that all she needs to do is be comfortable with herself, which normally takes people years to work out, she is beautiful. One other thing, why did your suddenly feel she should loose weight before holiday? After your bonding session, why don��t you ask subtly? Normally these types of things are prompted by friends or school colleagues making little comments, which are normally fuelled from insecurity in themselves. Good luck!

Make sure she has a balanced diet and increases the exercise (swimmimg is good). Replace any snacks with fruit and make sure she doesn t skip meals as this makes your body store more fat as it thinks it s being starved. Don t let her get caught up in this awful weight obsessed time we re having. Life s hard enough!

someone that age should not be worrying about their weight, unless they have aserious problemjust make sure she is kept active and not eating tons of junk

pick one day out of the week to just eat junk food but all the rest of the day eat helthy and try to lay off stuff like sweets candys fats oils and that kinda stuff....just get some of those smart ones in the frozen section....those are good and healthy for youor you can eat more organic stuff....and exercise everydayhope it helped =)

I would go for a half an hour jog in the morning before she eats so that she burns off fat that she hasnt already gained from eating exercise 3 meals a day healthy ones i might add, exercise= shtrtching or yoga is a good way. Other than that i have nothing good luck

Eat healthily with lots of veggies, lean meat and complex carbs and exercise, you will not have problem losing some fats and weight. There are no hunger pangs too.I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for more than a year.Details such as meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blogXiaozhen

she should do some more activities daily, and maybe cut out the junk food and replace coke with water, those are just little stuff to lost just a few pounds

i don t know this help or not but u can try....for chinese they believe that breakfast is very important and u need to eat until ur stomach is full. lunch should take in food that is just nice or maybe not too full. while night time try not to take to much food specially oilly. take half amount of the lunch for dinner.if u feel hungry before dinner try to take some biscuit or drink some milk. in malaysia we hav nestum or milo to help us gain energy. dont let her take supper.because it is not good for health too. make sure she hav fix timing for her meal.make sure dinner time is always at 6 to 7 pm. because the food need to be diegest few hours be4 sleeping time.try to ask her go for jogging or for a walk at least 30 min. there is where u start to burn fat. less than 30 min dosent help to burn fat.make sure she wake up early and sleep early too.

How to lose weight with Type 1 diabetes? -

I have had Type 1 diabetes since April, and, prior to my diagnosis, I weight 10st. Now I weight 10st 10lbs, and I would really like to lose some weight. I already go to the gym and exercise, but I m really finding that insulin makes me put on weight. Has anyone got any tips on how to lose weight?N.B-I m a vegetarian, and I obviously can t cut out carbohydrates.=]

If you take insulin and need to lose weight, don t eat so many carbs and get some exercise.You are not supposed to eat what you want and then take extra insulin to cover it. This CAUSES weight gain.Just stick to a good healthy diet, watch your carbs and go walk every day for about 45 minutes.Quit looking for the fast, easy way, that may put your health in great danger.Learn to manage your disease the way you are supposed to. DIET and medication and exercise.Control is Cure.

Yes, insulin can cause weight gain, but it is not impossible to lose weight when you are taking it. It requires will power and exercise. Cut down on the amount of carbs you take in. The more insulin you use, the harder it is to lose weight, and it can cause you to put more weight on. You need some carbs of course, for energy, but you can also still have a healthy diet and lose weight if you just cut out even a few carbs at each meal and snacks. The tighter your diet is, the less insulin you have to use. Even if you are a vegetarian, yes you can cut down on carbs. Get a nutritionist to help you.

I m having the same problem. I m not veggie, but I just have a hard time keeping my carbs down. I ve been doing Weight Watchers for months but I ve only lost 2-3 lbs. I m on a support group at TuDiabetes, and the consensus is that higher carbs are the culprit. So I am going to try and focus on lower-carb instead. It sounds like 100g or less a day really makes a difference, and of course watch fats and calories and get plenty of exercise.You re right that being veggie makes limiting carbs a challenge. Hate to suggest it, but are you open to fish or chicken? Probably not...in that case try to work tofu and eggplant into your diet more, and beans have carb but the high fiber negates some of that. And of course cheese and eggs are good in addition to veggies. Maybe watch the fruit and just have a little of that.

Honey, you can and must cut the starchy carbs out of your food plan. Vegan or not, it is a must to cut them.Fats do not stay in the bod and cause one to be fat. It is the starchy carbs that do that. They turn into the stored fats with the help of insulins.Pastas and breads and cereals, grain products of most kinds, potatoes, corn, carrots, peas and dried beans are the ones that are supposedly so good for us that are actually the ones that collect around our middles to our great disgust and harrassment.These can be cut down to a minimum. To understand exactly what each do to YOU:1. prepare a dish and measure out a portion at snack time2. test glucose number, and eat the food portion3 90 minutes to 2 hours after the first testing, test againJournal all of the testings, the hours, the amount and type of food eaten. It will tell you what each food will do to or for you.As much exercise as you can squeeze into your day will help as much as anything in keeping the stones and ounces off your backside as well.Obviously none of us carnivore or vegan can cut out all the carbs, but we can and must cut down on the heavier ones.Taking steroids for breathing problems has given me some other weight problems to go with the insulin/carb ratios as well. Cutting the carbs to the bone is not helping at all.

Just for completing other answers when you need a healthy food for diabetes life, you can visit diabetes recipes collection on this blog. http://diabetesrecipes.warnetnews.com/ However, balance nutrition is the most important to guard his vitality.Hope this can help you. Take care. GBU

I have used several of their programs, most have rocked, some didnt -- so overall, I say that they are safe to do business with and have good programs.

Weight loss tips? -

I am 15 years old and I have gained a fair amount of weight this summer. I am a dancer on my high school drill team and I have got to get in shape before school. I weigh about 140, it varies around there. I am 5 4 also. I wanto be around 100 to 110. I would appreciate any tips you have for me.Please do not tell me it s not safe. I KNOW THAT! But hello, it s a drill team here. School starts in about two months but we start practicing in August. Please help me out here and give me anything you know. Thank you so much.

Eat protein no bigger then your fist every 3 hrs. It will burn more calories. Eat only turkey burgers baked or grilled chicken or fish...Get boomie bars and snack on them only the almond protein plus. Do weights the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn throughtout the day and at night when u sleep

100-110 would be actually be a healthy weight. Try excersize for at least 1.5 hour each day. Jogging or bike riding is good. Dont try to starve yourself, just eat healthy and ONLY eat when you are hungry. If you want a snack, eat a fruit or veggetable.

How to lose weight in your lower abs? -

I wanna know different ways how to shrink your lower abs. Can anyone help me out, please?

Hanging Leg raises are really good. also do Leg Raises while laying on the floor. doing Tucked Levers also called (Hip Thrusts) work very well. and the Grab Ankles Lift works well too.

I actually just read an article at my gym on this. The first main factor is diet...get that straightened out and you ll be good. Second, reverse crunches don t really help unless you ve got some muscle build already. The main exercise you can do to develop lower abs is stand straight. Yep, just stand straight.

reverse crunches and the plank.. lots of cardio will always to the trick.

How to lose weight and keep it off? -

I ve recently been sick and lost about 11 pounds just because I couldn t keep anything down. I know this isn t a healthy way to lose weight but just seeing the change that 11 pounds made gave me the motivation I ve been needing to make some lifestyle changes and lose more, the healthy way. Thing is, I m not sure how to do that. How many calories do you have to consume daily to be healthy? What are some good exercises? Also, can anyone suggest a healthy dietary supplement? Thanks.

JUMP ROPE!! it is the best exercise, period.I have been doing it for about 3 and a half months now and have lost 20 pounds! First, find a good jump rope. Here is a good one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007IS��Now when you get your jump rope start off easy. I started off in sets of 100 and did that for about 5 minutes. between each of the 100s take 3, 6, or 9 breaths for a little break. You will get frustrated. It will be challenging. But you will get better and be able to do it for 10 minutes non-stop at a moderate speed. What I do now is 6 sets of 10 minutes taking about a 45 second rest/water break in between each set. So that you don t get bored, set up your workout area around a tv. You will need space. But not a whole lot of space. You may have to move your tv or something but I didn t. Avoid jump roping on concrete at all costs. It s bad on your knees and ankles.What s great about jump roping is that you can always make it harder. You can go faster, take bigger jumps, double unders, etc. Also, you will need to adjust your rope, which is easy. With some simple tools you can pop off the caps cut and cut the rope where you want it. How do you know what is the right length, you ask? well, Stand on the middle of the rope with both feet and the handles should come up to your armpits. Don t cut too much off though, because then you will need another rope if you mess up.Now about eating...This is not my area of expertice but I ve heard that you should cut 500-1,000 calories from your diet. So for men you should eat 1,500 and for women it should be 1,200 but NO LESS. Instead of 3 meals a day, eat 5-6 small meals each consisting of 200-350 calories. here s an example of one of my days of eating.Breakfast, whenever you wake up which should be 7:00-8:30: 2 servings of kelloggs special K plus protein with little skim milk =240 Now if you can t stand not having very much milk pour in what it tells you to pour in for each serving which is about 160 per serving? Apple= 70 calories... all = 310-390 caloriesMini-Brunch 10:00-10:30: Dannon Light and Fit 80 calorie yogurt with Planters cashew peanuts. But easy on the cashews. I usually take about half a hand full which makes it all equal to about 150 calories all =140-170 caloriesLuch 11:45-12:30: This is usually my largest meal because I exercise after I eat lunch.deli meat sandwhich with good healthy bread and using mustard instead of mayo and cheese. =about 300 caloriesSalad =100-150 depending what you put on it. I usually have about 5 cups of salad with light dressing, feta cheese, and some sunflower seeds. YUMand you can throw about 25 grapes or something like that in there and it all = about 450 caloriesAfternoon tea?? 3:00-3:30 I usually have something filling right around this time so I don t have to much at dinner. So oatmeal, or anything hot and has fiber and protein. oatmeal = 160 calories. and you can have a small salad with that so it would = about 240 caloriesDinner 5:45-6:30: Um um um...hm..um. Usually there is something made for dinner right? So you can t control this one... but you CAN control how much you eat! Use a small plate and limit your meat portions to about a deck of cards. If you had deck of cards meat, half a baked potato, and salad that would =about 300 calories...ALL EQUALS =1,470... OH MY GOODNESS THAT S LIKE PERFECT!! lol So there you go, that s one successful day of eating uner your belt. Now here is a list of foods to avoid at all costs and foods to include in your dietNO-NOsodaany desserts...sorry but seriously cut ANY out completely. Don t even taste it because it won t satisfie you. These desserts includecake,cookies,pie,candy... you know all that stuff.pancakesbaconhot dogsmilkshakesthe list goes on, and on, and on... You know what s not good for youGOODY GOOD GOODS!Fruit such asapplesbananasstrawberriesgrapes, but not too many. Grapes are the sugariest fruit so limit those.and other such thingsSALAD salad is very low calorie so load upa good cerealoatmeal1 or 2 eggsand this list goes on and on too. again, you know what s good for you!One other thing. DRINK, MORE, WATER! From now on, water is your favorite drink. You should be having 82 ounces of water everyday or more. put water in place of fruit drinks, soda, and other stuff LOADED with sugar.HOPE ALL THIS HELPS! it worked for me so it should work for you. weigh yourself every week in the morning and measure your waist every week. GOOD LUCK!:)

Use this calculator to find out how many calories you need per day, based on your age, sex, and lifestyle: http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequi��The site also provides exercises (with instruction) and examples of workouts. Stumptuous (http://www.stumptuous.com/) is another great non-commercial workout and nutrition site, mostly for women and girls. You will also get a lot of excellent, neutral information there.If you eat a healthy diet, you won t need a dietary supplement.

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/calorie�� -- this will determine how many calories a day would be healthy for you to lose weight... Jog for a half hour, speed-walk for 30 seconds then back to normal and so on, Crunches, Mountain climbing poses, and yoga! Medifast is a good dietary supplement, as is Emergen-C, and also Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil help people use GOBS of weight and it s healthy for you too :) hope I helped!

If you really want to lose weight, you should watch your diet and start exersizing. Dont take those dieting pills because they dont work. Dont starve yourself to death on the foods you eat. Try eating healthy foods, and between here and there you can treat yourself with some treats. But not too much treats. Good Luck!

How to lose weight for someone like me? -

I m really stressed out at the moment depressed even and I really need to lose weight. I m not morbidly obese but have gone from being curvy to overweight. But because of my moods i m lacking confidence to go out of the house and get exercise. And whenever I set myself rules about eating I feel even more power to break them..Like i start off fine in the day and get to around tea time i just binge. I m fed up of fighting with myself

Sweety, trust me I ve been in the same situation as yourself...I had lost a loved one and slipped into a coma- this and my comfort-eating binges contributed to me become obese...I was already in a depression and make things worst I was living alone...Didn t have any friends n family to tend to me as I had decided to move to a place where no body knew me.....Anyhow, here I am today...5ft 4 inches tall...and 38in-28-36....The path from 48-38-52 to this was not easy...It was gruesome..and required a lot of mental-determination....it is infact the only thing which can make u lose weight..coz once u have it, the will and strength to work out and abstain from fatty foods will simply follow.....Wht i did was I bought dresses for myself which were too small-exactly the size i wanted myself to be.....I stocked my fridge with only veggies and fruits..and the occasional chicken (coz its the only healthy meat) which i only had roasted, skinned grilled.....and worked out in the gym 6 days a week for 2 hours daily...30 mins in sauna for 6 months...and here I am today....that s it...all laid down for u....so...go ahead...pump up ur will-power....declare to the world ur plan...and stick to it...Feel free to contact me if u need any help...i completely feel for u...ALL THE BEST

Try portion control... all the same foods you like and eat, still eat them but in smaller amounts... this way you re still eating what you enjoy. for instance instead of eating ice ceam out of the carton, measure 1/2 cup out and then stop... or if you crave pizza, that s fine! but instead of eating 6 slices, have 2 slices and add a salad to it to fill you up. drink lots of water or some other drink with 0 calories like diet pop or crystal lite if you don t like water. this will fill you up and you won t be as hungry. Diets don t wont... it s totally unrealistic to say i m just not going to eat fattening food... it only sets you up for a binge that way. Also if you re a bordum eater, find something else you enjoy doing to get your mind off food. As for exercise. I work in a gym and can totally understand how it can be intimidating to go to a gym if feel a little self conscience. So maybe try just going for some walks or jogs. with it being summer time there s a lot of activities you can do outside that are fun. And if you feel too depressed to go out and do something period then just try to focus on the eating part for now. always take baby steps if you try to make too drastic life changes at one time it will be too overwhelming and can set you up for failure. good luck :)

How to lose weight at home? -

So whats a good routine to do at home that will make me lose fat, inches. My diet is protein, vegetables and fruit.I have a gym membership but today I dont feel like going I just want to stay home and exercise. Oh and I splurged this weekend I had a lot of carbs :(

Try breathing exercises. You might be surprised to know that breathing exercises too can lead to weight loss. If you are doing the breathing exercises properly, you will find that you can exert a lot of pressure on the muscles around the mid section. You can feel a tightening of these muscles each time you breathe in or breathe out. So go ahead and breathe properly, it is good for you.

I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure.2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program.3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily.4. Don t weigh yourself more than once a week5. Take starting measurements as well as weight - sometimes you ll lose inches before pounds6. Avoid any type of low carb sweetener for the first two weeks7. Don t compare your loss to someone else s - this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary)8. Stalls are common around the third week so don t panic9. If you follow your plan to the T and don t lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts - make sure your doctor knows that you re doing low carb and when you started12. Don t blame the diet if you don t read your plan book -- blame the diet if you don t read the labels -- Don t blame the diet if you don t follow the diet

I kno a great weight loss product on www.shopherbalife.com/safiya.. its really great and it worked for about 3 people that I kno.. if you hav any questions you can contact me..

Turn on music and dance like wild. Let your hair down once in a while. Go back to the days of wild child hood. Close the door of your room, turn on your sound system to the highest volume possible (but a little lower than the level at which your neighbors start to complain) and then do the wackiest dance that you can think of. Jump on your bed and jump off it again. Roll all over the floor. Pretend that you are Michael Jackson or Madonna (you will never see them keeping still) and do ever boogie move that you know.

drink plenty of water. cut down heavy foods especially carbohydrates for dinner. less carbohydrates and more green vegetables in your meal because excess carbohydrates will be stored as fats. do some exercise for example push ups and sit ups. i think these will work. :)
